Ohio Teacher Charged in Breast-Milk Assault
[Previous 6/29/11 post]
(Columbus, Ohio) A 30-year-old teacher at Summit Academy, Stephanie Robinette, was arrested Saturday as a result of a breast-milk assault during a domestic dispute.

Robinette faces misdemeanor charges of domestic violence, assault, obstructing official business, resisting arrest and disorderly conduct.

Witnesses and Robinette's husband told deputies that he and his wife were arguing and that she struck him multiple times and then locked herself in their car. He also told them that he and his wife had been at a wedding reception and that she was intoxicated, the sheriff's office said in the news release.

The deputies said Mrs. Robinette began yelling profanities when they approached the car and refused to get out. She then told them she is a breastfeeding mother, removed her right breast from her dress and began spraying deputies and the car with her breast milk, Sheriff Walter L. Davis III said in the news release.

Note that Robinette may also be charged with felony harassment of a law officer with a bodily fluid. According to a previous report, breast-milk is classified as a biohazard.

Robinette was booked into custody at the Delaware County Jail and released on her own recognizance.
